We’re very excited to announce the first Cassandra Meetup in Vienna on Monday, January 13, 2014 which we are co-organizing. And the best news: Datastax will sponsor beer and food!The meetup will feature casual tasks about Cassandra in general and it’s usage in real-world applications. Philipp Potisk will kick off with a general introduction to Cassandra and its applications. Afterwards, Klaus Brunner (XroadMedia) will give you the opportunity to get an insight into two years using Cassandra in a live application. If you’re interested in first-hand experience, this is perfect for you.

I will give the final talk where we are going to both build and break a Cassandra cluster. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
